Zoning by-law amendment for mixed-use redevelopment upheld as consistent with provincial and local planning policies.
The appellant appealed the Town's passing of a site-specific zoning by-law amendment to permit a mixed-use commercial and residential redevelopment of an underutilized shopping centre.
The appellant argued the development was incompatible with surrounding residences, lacked affordable housing, and would cause nuisance and shadowing.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, accepting the uncontested expert planning evidence that the amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms with the applicable Official Plans, and represents good planning by facilitating appropriate intensification.
